Hi, I bought an LT35 2 years ago and have done many happy miles during that time. the kids have been on ponies and it has been great. My son has recently got a 15hh horse so thought I would go and have it weighed . With a full tank and me and my daughter it weighed in at 3.2 tons . We were quite shocked as thought we were within the limits. We did have over a £100 pounds worth of deisel on board and loads of bits and peices but no ponies .
Now i have had someone look at it tonight in regard to changing the floor to lightweight and matting etc but he said forget it sell it as it is and buy another one. he said if we put aside what we would spend on the box and what we could sell for we could get a newer conversion.
We love our LT35 though and the horses travel well sideways and we have a little bit of living behind the cab which suits us well.
I dont like the van conversions, we do stay away at weekends so want a little cooker etc.
Not exactly a life or death dilemma but looking at whats on offer on a certain auction site, most boxes like ours say they can carry two horses etc. Dont know wether they are deluded or just dont know or are we missing something ?
thanks for taking the time to read
